This worksheet is designed to help students understand and practice the concept of equivalent fractions. It provides a visual representation of fractions to illustrate that different fractions can represent the same value. The worksheet starts with the fraction representing one whole and then breaks down into common fractions such as halves, quarters, thirds, fifths, sixths, eighths, tenths, and twelfths. Each set of fractions is represented in a manner that allows students to see the equivalence between them. For example, one half is shown to be equivalent to two quarters, three sixths, four eighths, and so on.

The layout of the worksheet is structured to enable students to visually compare fractions and identify patterns in equivalent fractions. This resource can be particularly useful for reinforcing the concept that, although the numbers in the numerator and denominator may change, the fractions can still represent the same portion of a whole. The worksheet is a practical tool for students to gain confidence in recognising and working with equivalent fractions, an essential skill in the maths curriculum. The repeated representation of different but equivalent fractions underscores the idea that fractions can be expressed in multiple ways while still maintaining the same value.
